The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Delta State has formally received members of the Obedient Movement, including notable figures such as Dcn. Ken Pela, a former Labour Party candidate, alongside other state executives of the movement. This development marks a significant political realignment as preparations quietly intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Obedient Movement — a reform-driven political support group that rose to prominence around the 2023 presidential ambition of Mr. Peter Obi — has increasingly been engaging with the ADC as a credible platform for advancing good governance, accountability, and people-focused leadership. Members of the movement are being encouraged to integrate into ADC’s structures at state and grassroots levels.
This move reflects a broader wave of opposition coalition-building across Nigeria. As dissatisfaction with the status quo continues to grow, like-minded political actors and civic groups are gravitating toward alliances that can present a formidable alternative in future elections.
For many within the Obedient Movement, the ADC represents more than a political party — it is seen as a vehicle for reform, national renewal, and the restoration of public trust in governance. The reception of these members in Delta State underscores ADC’s expanding role as a unifying platform for progressive forces determined to reshape Nigeria’s political future.
